    [Franklin McMahon] “If you expand your talent, you double and triple your opportunities. Move into other areas such as special effects or audio production. Chances are if you focus on these new talents as you have focused on your current talent, you’ll do great. Don’t see yourself as a stationary lake but as a vast ocean that touches many, many shores of options”

    Bingo!!! I’m deathly slow right now. New jobs are trickling in but ever so slowly. So here’s what I’m doing along with the occasional slack off day.
    – Marketingmarketingmarketing
    – Learning motion graphics
    – Upping my still photography skills and developing a portfolio
    – Marketingmarketingmarketing
    – Redoing my reel
    – Redoing my website
    – Back doing contract event teching
    – Started a new performing duo to help make ends meet
    – Doing pro bono work for non profits who need and deserve it

    Oh, and did I mention marketing. It is tough right now for a lot of us. But keeping busy, upping the skills, and doing whatever it takes to stay positive is key.
